Houston, Texas - Candidate for Priesthood

October 28, 2011

COLLEYVILLE, TX. October 28, 2011 -- God willing, on Sunday, October 30, 2011, the St. Mary and Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church in Houston will be blessed with an ordination of a new priest. The candidate to be is Marc Gendi. We ask for your prayers in the fulfillment of God's will for this blessed event.

"The work of the priesthood is done on earth, but it is ranked among heavenly ordinances. And this is only right, for no man, no angel, no archangel, no other created power, but the Paraclete Himself ordained this succession, and persuaded men, while still remaining in the flesh to represent the ministry of angels."- St. John Chrysostom, On the Priesthood
